Who knows that II would be unpatriotic
to burn up ali the old war hsgsg Would 1t
not be well if all tbs records Of that great
national butchery could be blotted out-on
both sides? Would you boassfuliy carry

Even professional pugilists shake hands

a far fight Did the North and South bat
tie for belt after the fashion Of Tom
ODonnell and Jem Fell? Should
either side strut with it about their
waist like the bully Sullivan. only

knows the great outcry over that war-fsg
proposition wss not crazy, row-headed,

ing on the fence? We think so. II was
war in teapot; the firecracker patriotism
OF hate-if not cowardice. 1t was qusck-
medicine advertising; jumping at chance
to be heroic when there was neither gun
powder or bullets around. The rebellion
was a war between brothers. Both sides
have washed the blood from their hands,
and they should bury or burn the dnggers
they stabbed each other with. But the
South was wrong and we were right. His
,ory has Il 30. Had the South conquered il
might have been written the other way.
But the time has passed for argument or
Dragging. No doubt Lincoln and Grant
would have exchanged the tattered flags as
they bestowed all honar. full fellowship
and their blessings. 1t remains for small
dogs 10 bite. and little roosters TO fly on the
fence aud crow.

many dogs do they usually have to n
team was the next question. There
are usually four. but very often six or
eight. 1t would not do, however, to have
more than four in team to be driven
through the streets, as with the bands of
music, the noise and the crowd of people
they would be hard TO manage.
The best dog is a cross between . wolf
and collie slut They are not savage,
but on the contrary arc very devoted to
the man who feeds them. They are very
peculiar in this respect A man may drive
a team five years and feed them every
night, but if he sells them, the buyer feeds
them, and thereupon he becomes their
boss They give implicit obedience TO the
man who feeds them last. Good dogs sre

employed in drawing fish from Lake Win
nipe% into the town, and are often used
yet by the Indians who come in on treaty
days for their pay. When the Indians
have their sun dance they kill and eat the
oldest and most worthless of the dogs, for
il would never do to have a dance with
out Il meal of roast dog afterward. The
Stonies never do this, but the Crees, the

The steel pen is an exceedingly modern in
yentlon. Any person past middle age can
remember when its Use became general in
America Before that time the quill pen was
universal, and to make or sharpen it for his
pupils was one Of the chief tasks of the school
master. Many persons still employ this
archaic instrument, driving TO madness all
who ara within hearing Of its more narrowing
sound. The utter inability of the present
generation TO listen 10 the scratching of the
Quill pen is one of the most startling evidences
Of the increase of nervous disorders among us
The pretended preference for it is generally an
affec.tatIun.
The name of the person who first used a
quill pen has not been preserved, and the loss
has not been seriously felt 1t was probably
some monk or Learned clerk of the middle
ages vino found that it could usefullv supple-
ment the stylus with which he was illuminat-
ing manuscript. The quill might have
easily been suggested by the boikin made Of
the bone of a bird or other animal transmitted
from the Romans to the medieval monks or
by the sharpened reed, also used by the
Romans and still in use among the Arabs.

a continuous stream Of boys, who seem to
feel that they have been defrauded out OF

quest, or rather demand, is refused. They
rush in noisily, and either shut the door
with bang that shakes the very foer and
sets the desks dancing, or shey leave II

draughts of cold air, when the thermom-
eter without is perhaps several degrees
below zero. OF course the companies

taken from his stock and walked about in

much thinner than those he had been
in the habit of wearing, and in consc-

caused his death. As he lay upon his death
